Dear Geoffrey: I am sure that I can give you a name on that St. Vincent collection with a photograph. The West Indies does not have so many species and most are quite well known.

Hi All, Can someone tell me if there are any species of Anthurium commonly found in the Caribbean, in particular St Vincent? I recently was given seed of a plant labelled simply Anthurium "St Vincent", referring I assume to the collection locality. The plant had large leaves the size and shape of A. andreanum but the spathe was small and shrivelled while the spadix was about 8-10ins long with hundreds of small red berries. Not much of a description I know and I will try to get a photograph soon. The plant may of course have been introduced there in cultivation but if there are any naturally occuring species there I would be grateful if anyone (Tom?) could give me some pointers. Many thanks, Geoffrey Kibby London
